HIPAA Security Risk Analysis

What are HIPAA and EPHI?

The Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) had to amend the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). It introduced regulations protecting the privacy and security of health information. To comply with this demand, HHS published a set of rules known as the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rule.

The Privacy Rule

The Privacy Rule, or Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information provides the national standards to safeguard certain health information. Likewise, The Security Rule, or The Security Standards for the Protection of Electronic Protected Health Information provides a set of national security standards to protect information that is transferred electronically.

The Security Rule

The Security Rule applies the protections prescribed in the Privacy Rule. It is done by addressing the “covered entities” commonly known as technical and non-technical safeguards by the organizations. These safeguards are put in place to secure individuals’ “Electronic Protected Health Information” (e-PHI).
